The documents required for company registration in Myanmar depend on the type of business entity, such as a local company, branch office, or joint venture. Here’s a general list of essential documents needed for company registration in Myanmar:
Company Name Reservation: Submit a proposed company name to the Myanmar Companies Online (MyCO) system for approval. The name must be unique and comply with Myanmar’s naming guidelines.
Memorandum of Association (MOA): This document outlines the company’s objectives, share capital, and shareholder details. It must be signed by the shareholders and notarized.
Articles of Association (AOA): The AOA defines the company’s internal rules and regulations, including governance structures and shareholder rights. It must also be signed and notarized.
Director and Shareholder Details: Provide identification documents (e.g., passport copies) for all directors and shareholders. Foreign directors and shareholders must submit notarized and legalized passport copies.
Registered Office Address: Provide proof of the company’s registered office address in Myanmar, such as a lease agreement or utility bill.
Form A (Application for Incorporation): Complete and submit Form A, which includes details about the company’s directors, shareholders, and share capital.
Form B (Declaration of Compliance): Submit Form B, signed by a director or company secretary, declaring that all legal requirements for incorporation have been met.
Foreign Investment Documents (if applicable): For foreign investors, additional documents are required, including:
Investment Permit from the Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC).
Joint Venture Agreement (for joint ventures with local partners).
Certificate of Incorporation from the home country (for branch offices).
Tax Registration: Register the company with the Internal Revenue Department (IRD) to obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN).
Bank Reference Letter: Provide a reference letter from a bank confirming the shareholders’ financial standing.
Other Permits and Licenses: Depending on the business activity, additional permits or licenses may be required from relevant ministries or authorities.
Once all documents required for company registration in Myanmar are prepared and submitted to the Myanmar Companies Online (MyCO) system, along with the applicable fees, the company will be officially registered. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and efficient registration process.
